| Title Proper | On translating Homer's Iliad |
| Language | ENG |
| Author | Alexander, Caroline |
| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This reflective essay explores the considerations facing a translator of Homer's work; in particular, the considerations famously detailed by the Victorian poet and critic Matthew Arnold, which remain the gold standard by which any Homeric translation is measured today. I attempt to walk the reader through the process of rendering a modern translation in accordance with Arnold's principles. |
